Hahahah, that's futile! That guy can barely walk with it. It's impossible shoot anything with it unless it's point blank, even then you could fire couple rounds before recoil messes everything!
Maybe prone with bipod could make it accurate enough for shorter bursts.

I don't know why everyone keeps repeating that 25kg (actually 25.5) figure without checking. The game currently supports item weights between 0 and 6553.5kg (that's more than 6.5 tons).

That said, HMGs are still totally impractical in the game until someone implements proper tripod mounted weapons (needs coding and animations).

Well then, HMGs aren't a problem when it comes to weight. Indeed they require a tripod in order to fire them effectively. I imagine coding and animation would be the hardest part.

Offtopic:
Heheh, you could do some serious strength training with your merc then. Load a backpack with HMGs, one to hand + strap slot and off you go with over 250kg load... Wonder if he makes to the next sector?

The portable variant's bipod is actually a pretty clever recoil absorbing device. Thankfully with the NCTH came a way to make certain weapons non-viable to shoot while standing or kneeling, so making this thing usable only while prone should be easy enough.

Actually, 20mm with a conversion kit for 14.5mm. Only the IoV family would be crazy enough to have it. There's nothing in game that's both worth shooting at and can be damaged by this abomination. .50 is already pushing it.

Hmm. Doing some weapon research, I just found a very funky gun. The Mateba Unica 6 (aka the Mateba Auto-Revolver) is a recoil-operated revolver, making it one of the strangest guns ever. Aside of that, it also fires from the bottom cylinder position. It has a version in .454 Casull with an 8" barrel which is considered to be a joy to shoot (for such a powerful round). I might sprite this one, because it is just way too cool, and we already have .454 Casull in the game.

Here is a pair of them (These are .44s, the left one is the long barrel version):

detrajev dt-tanovyj[for tanks] this gun is devopment from dp-28 gun,it is used in tanks[t-34 or something similar] can be used by troops,you can see bipod & folding stock on gun,ammo capacity 60 rounds/caliber 7.62x54R

Well, he has bigger chances than howie
But seriously, I think the stability of that robot as a firing platform is vastly overestimated. They are usually used with the standard issue SAW, GPMG or a .50 AMR, haven't seen one in this weight class with .50MG or bigger.

Maybe if we ever get tripods implemented, there will be a place for those big guns.

now in theory line: it is posible make for garand conv calibre kit's?
for excample: .300 wm, .338 lapaua magnum, .458[this one is in iov], now pistol caliber's like .50 ae , .50 beo or .45 winchester magnum ? yes this is imposible until nms is done ...
